JOSEPH W. WATTLES, OF CANTON, MASSACHUSETTS.

RING TRAVELER SPINNING-FRAME.

Speccation of Letters Patent No. 24,169, dated May 24, 18%59.

T o all 'whom it may concem:

Be it known that I, JOSEPH W. VVATTLES, of Canton, in the county of vNorfolk and State of Massachusetts, have invented an Improvement in the Ring and Traveler Spinning Mechanism; and I do hereby declare that the same is fully described and represented in the following specification and the accompanying drawings, of which- Figure l, is a side elevation; Fig. 2, a top view, and Fig. 3, a transverse section of a spindle, ring and traveler the ring being constructed in accordance with my inven tion.

The nature of the said invention consists in a peculiar arrangement of the traveler supporting flanches with reference to the axis of the ring or that of the spindle.

Fig. 4, denotes a section of a ring of the ordinary kind which it will be perceived has its top formed very much like that of a common T rail of a railwaythe flanches for holding the traveler being horizontal or arranged in a plane at right angles with the aXis of the ring.

In carrying out my improvement, I arrange the lanches so as to stand vertically or nearly so, or parallel to the aXis of the ring or that of the spindle B, substantially as shown in Fig. 3. Under this arrangement, the traveler will be supported by the lanches of the ring as shown at T, in Fig. 3.

The advantages of this improvement with respect to the common mode of supporting a traveler are that 'the coils of thread about the traveler are caused to stand apart from one another to better advantage so as not to rub and abrade one another. Furthermore, the draft or tension between the traveler and the front roller of the draft rollers can be better regulated and there is not so much liability of wear of the traveler. And besides, the ring is not so liable to be cut into by the traveler and much more yarn can be Wound on the bobbin.

I claim- The improved arrangement of the ring flanches, by which the traveler is supported and on which it slides, the same consisting in arranging them with reference to the ring or its axis substantially as shown in Fig. 3, of the accompanying drawings.

In testimony whereof, I have hereunto set my signature.

JOSEPH W. VATTLES.
